" We visited Taverna for my wife's birthday, and it was a night to remember! The restaurant was bustling but still maintained a wonderful ambiance. I ordered the short rib gnocchi and was blown away by the flavors. The service was friendly, though we had to wait a bit longer for our drinks. Overall a delightful experience, will be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taverna was an excellent choice for dinner last night. I was part of a large group, and they accommodated us well. While the service became a bit slow as the evening went on, the food made up for it. Our dishes were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. I especially enjoyed their risotto! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our lunch at Taverna had its ups and downs. The ambiance is lovely, but the service was slow, and it was hard to get the waitstaff's attention. My meal was fine, but my friend's dish had too much salt. Overall, I enjoyed it but wish it had met my higher expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I highly recommend Taverna for anyone who loves Italian cuisine! What I thought would be a simple lunch turned into an impressive dining experience. The fresh pasta and friendly atmosphere made it unforgettable. Their chocolate cake is worth saving room for; it was heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taverna Austin is just okay. I expected more based on the reviews I read. I felt that the food, while good, was not as authentic as I would've liked. The service was prompt yet not engaging. The ambiance is nice, but I guess I was hoping for something more unique, especially with Italian cuisine. It's not a bad place, just did not meet the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Taverna was not what I expected. I found the food to be quite average, especially with all the hype surrounding it. The service was a bit lackluster, as we experienced some delays. The ambiance was pleasant, but overall, I don’t think it’s worthy of the rave reviews. " (*Curated Review*)
